Let’s examine 3 points to focus on and make a plan for the next few weeks:

1. You have a idea, a vague plan, but you don’t have a Business (yet). Many professionals and entrepreneurs have a dream, but don’t know how to translate it into a business. They work without focus, clear priorities, business plan, financial objectives and often, without results. To resolve: Define the business and get a business coach to help you write a plan, and become accountable for your growth step-by-step.

2. Ineffective Marketing, advertising and sales. How do people hear about you, your products or services? Your coach will help you create a solid plan for networking, advertising, social media -or other- types of marketing so that more people hear about you. He or she can help you learn how to close a deal and how to improve your sales. A great product with ineffective marketing is a dead product. A business person who is not likable or can’t be trusted won’t close a deal. Business and life coaching support will help you improve not just the business aspect, but also the personal dynamics necessary to gain more customers.

3. Inadequate Value Added. It may be hard to admit, but if people try your product or service, and don’t become steady customers, something is wrong. How can you convert casual connections into long-term customers? It may be a problem with your presentation, pricing, delivery, timing, even the product/service itself, or perhaps factors outside your control, but clearly, something must change. Your business coach will help you find where the situation is stuck, and help unstuck you so you can move forward constructively.

Finally, because I believe we do not operate in a vacuum, let’s consider this: do you have a supportive environment that’s aligned with your business ideas and ideals? Do you go home to people you love and who love you? Do you have friends who can cheer you up? Hobbies you enjoy? Do you take care of yourself and your health?… All these questions, and more, can help foster your business sense, and your business success.

Most of all, a life and business coach will help guide you and give you tangible tools, techniques and a roadmap for growth and success!
